system monitoring/security - possibly off topic
by bruce 22 Apr '20

22 Apr '20

Hey. Not willing to step on toes. Is asking for opinions on tools to do system/security monitoring off topic? Been doing research, thought I'd ask here as well - if it's acceptable? thanks

appimages and printing
by Tim 22 Apr '20

22 Apr '20

Has anyone found that appimages can't print? And how to resolve this? I see nothing useful in the cups logs. *So* *far* I've only done this on CentOS, not Fedora, but I found that an appimage (MuseScore) cannot print (the same app is available as a normal RPM on Fedora). When I tried printing, the usual print dialogue comes up, my printers are in it, I select any of them and try to print the same as any other application would do, but the printer just sits there doing nothing. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1062.18.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Mar 17 23:49:17 UTC 2020 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted. I will only get to see the messages that are posted to the mailing list.

What might be good for you might not be acceptable for others. And you might have specific requirements. I know an governmental organization, that considered it wise to buy official support by Canonical. They hardly put an official case to them, but when they did, allthey noticed that lierarly their issues were only forwarded to the corresponding upstream maintainers, without even botherin to see if they could reproduce it. Some prefer distro "A", others "B", But if one has much "higher rankings", but all of your staff is used to and familiar with "B", the other might end up better for your organization or company. If possible, evaluate all, and re-evaluate every three-four years. Distro's and their corresponding companies (and communities) are living entities...

Re: GA definition
by David 21 Apr '20

21 Apr '20

For you newbies, GA In the software release life cycle, general availability (GA) refers to the marketing phase when all "practical" developmental activities pertaining to the Linux distribution have been completed. At this point, the distribution is allegedly or hopefully available for production usage. Final development activities encompass compliance and security tests, as well as localization and publishing an iso image to the world via the internet. General availability is a part of the release phase of a Linux distribution, in this case, Fedora 32, and is preceded by the release candidate (RC) phase. General availability is also known as a "Production Release." This term and abbreviation is commonly used by software developers, and the GA release is highly anticipated by fans of that distribution. Although, many Linux users will wait till the dust settles, and instead install an iso image later on, after the early adopters have posted positive reviews, or just wait for the first round of updates. Feel free to correct or reword that, as I took the liberty to try to water it down. D.L.

how to view files over the Internet?
by ToddAndMargo 21 Apr '20

21 Apr '20

Hi All, I have a scenario where I have a Fedora server at one location and five Windows workstations, each at a different location. The customer wants to give the five remote workstations the ability to view (not edit) certain documents. Question, what is the best to go about this? vsftp seems to over complicate things. Your advice? Samba is out of the question. Many thanks, -T

Fedora 32 today or next week?
by Tom Horsley 21 Apr '20

21 Apr '20

I haven't been able to find anything that looks like an official delay announcement, just a schedule listing with the obscure info about today being the preferred target and the 28th being the current target. I can't tell what that means :-).

Cryptsetup re-encrypt with SHA-512 ?
by Sreyan Chakravarty 21 Apr '20

21 Apr '20

Is it possible to re-encrypt a partition with the cryptsetup reencrypt command, to use the SHA-512 hash ? Currently, my partition uses SHA-256, so I want to reencrypt without losing any data. I have heard that the cryptsetup reencrypt does online re-encryption, but the man page is not clear about how you can introduce a new hash. Is it even possible ? -- Regards, Sreyan Chakravarty

Dear All, This morning, I tried to run VirtualBox, but it did not start. Then I tried to do a reboot and while booting, I got into emergency mode. I typed my root password and issued the command systemctl reboot It reboots, but again I got locked into emergency mode. How can I overcome this? Thanks in advance, Paul
